[Elecraft] Adapter to use KXUSB with the KPA500

[Gary Hinson]

Something vaguely similar to this, perhaps:
www.G4iFB.com/W2_programming_lead.jpg 

I appear to have misplaced the Elecraft-supplied serial programming lead for
my W2 wattmeter - no big deal until I came to change the SWR alarm settings.
So I made one up from junk-box bits.

All I need to do now is attach a big fluorescent sign that reads "Not junk!"
